Which statement about a technical decision is NOT correct?

• A. It is based on judges’ scorecards when a bout cannot be completed due to injury after a minimum number of rounds.
• B. It is used only when a knockout occurs.
• C. It results from an injury stoppage after rounds; the winner is determined by scorecards.
• D. It is part of boxing scoring procedures.

Answer: (B)

A technical decision happens when a bout is stopped due to an injury after a minimum number of rounds have been completed, and the winner is determined by the judges’ scorecards. It’s part of boxing scoring procedures because the bout is scored as it would have been if it had continued, and the result is decided by the cards rather than by a knockout.

Saying it’s used only when a knockout occurs is not correct. A knockout ends the fight immediately by one fighter being unable to continue, whereas a technical decision is specifically for an injury stoppage after enough rounds have been completed, with the winner decided by the scorecards. The other statements describe this mechanism accurately: the decision comes from the judges’ scores after an injury stoppage, and it is indeed part of boxing scoring procedures.
